Md. sheriff's group launches fund drive

The Maryland Sheriff's Association has begun a state-wide direct mail fund-raising campaign to sign up honorary members who would like to join law enforcement officers in the fight against crime.

"It's the first time we have used this approach," said Michael Canning, coordinator for the campaign. "Any funds generated will be used to provide more and improved training for sheriffs and their deputies and to further crime prevention."

Mr. Canning said about 25 other states have such a program. He said the approach seemed like the least offensive way to solicit citizens in

each county.

"It's a one-time appeal," he said. "There will be no telephone follow-up. It's just a good way to bring the role of the Sheriff's Office to the public's attention."

The mailing requests a check for $20 for each individual membership, payable to the Maryland Sheriff's Association, 12 St. Francis St., P.O. Box 511, Annapolis 21404. Applicants will receive a membership card, a bumper sticker and a decal. Automobile license plate frames also are available for an additional $5.

Mr. Canning also said the decision to begin this campaign did not result from state budget cuts.
